Hi, I am very glad I found this site today. I have spent most of my morning reading posts and trying to learn as much as possible. I have had my tank running for about 4 months. I am having a lot of difficulties keeping my fish living tho. I hope to meet some friends on here to help me learn. I believe my tank is about 45 gallons, and I have been so excited to learn about fish keeping. Altho, at this point I'm very discouraged, almost ready to pack it up and get rid of the whole set up! Looking forward to meeting some new people!

The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.[unknown source]

Something we all need to remember: The fish you've acquired was quite happy not being owned by you, minding its own business. If you’re going to take it under your wing then you’re responsible for it. Every aspect of its life is under your control, from water quality and temperature to swimming space. [Nathan Hill in PFK]
